826 Valencia

The only pirate store I have visited, so far.

i keep passing by it, on this long trip to SF… but haven’t yet gone in… something to do with it’s always closed when i’m passing… hmm…

today’s my last day here, so should try to visit, no?

Karl! You will always be king!

The storefront on Valencia was mysterious enough. However, Instead of facing deadly pirate-ware attesting to their dangerous lifestyle when you walk in, you see silly, serious and daydreaming kids sitting with mentors separated by a thick rope. The smaller part of the store, near the front does contain deadly pirate-ware for sale. Bottles with actual messages (I was tempted), great treasure boxes (I bought one) and sharp objects (didn’t think customs officers would be happy).
